The ‘lacquered paper-objects’ are small containers designed by nendo for Nilufar gallery, first presented during the Milan Design Week 2012.

A small container is created using a 3D printer that cuts, stacks and pastes sheets of paper one by one. The surface is finished with lacquer. The lacquer adheres thickly to the edges of the accumulated paper, and is pulled at the paper’s surface, resulting in a mysterious texture like wood grain.
